The big news this week is that JDK 8u40 was released , including the very latest JavaFX bits. 8u40 is a big release, including a few new UI controls (Spinner, Formatted TextField, and Dialogs), as well as accessibility support on Windows and OS X.
For those looking for Scene Builder - it was announced by Oracle that it will only be shipped in source code form from here on out.

Gluon has announced that it will ship builds of Scene Builder , and even plans to improve support for third party controls, etc. Since that announcement, Scene Builder installers have also been built and made available.
